How is one's position calculated?
Is it based upon the number of games played? How recently the last games were played? The distribution of wins, survivals, loses?

Gray checks/Saved moves
I know that when you click save instead of ready, you get a gray check. But if time runs out before you click ready, are your saved moves inputed or do you have no moves for that turn?

Colorblindness update and live game display option
Colorblind options are now live. Live game display option is also live. Both settings can be changed under "settings." Much thanks to ATC and the dev team, including thorfi, Kestas, and Oli. ATC will also push out the auto update fix for the colorblind option soon. You might have to manually update your map to see the change at the moment.
Please thank them for the work they do and let us know how much you enjoy these updates!

To those arguing about Tsarnaev
These are the names you should be remembering:

Krystle Marie Campbell (29), Lu Lingzi (23), Martin William Richard (8), and Sean A. Collier (27). Not to mention the 264 other injured people. The bomber does not deserve to have his name remembered by society, they do.

Yeah, I heard people talking about that on the way into my Seminar test. Of the high schoolers on webDip, is my school the only one that offers AP Seminar? I know there are only 300 in the US that do.
Yoyoyozo (65 D)
05 May 15 UTC
Yeah, it's a new exam, so very few schools have adopted it yet. My school has every AP except Capstone, which it has already added for next year.
TrPrado (461 D)
05 May 15 UTC
It's actually a really good idea. It's worthwhile college prep, and the credit is definitely worth it. Those of us in the 300 schools have mostly felt like clueless guinea pigs because there was information we felt was urgent but didn't get until pretty late. We also took the class before College Board confirmed that schools signed off to give credit for it. It's also reallybrelaximg at times because there isn't much to learn for most of the year. Between the papers and presentations (which unusually actually play into your score on the exam), it's definitely not a blowoff course like some would think, but it does give the time to catch up on other work if you're done with your paper or presentation and your teacher doesn't want to practice with the questions on that day. I would definitely suggest it to anyone considering it.

As a teacher and night time grad student I feel for you all. I remember doing AP tests in High School, but its nothing compared to writing a thesis.
TrPrado (461 D)
06 May 15 UTC
I know, and College Board knows. That's part of why the second year of the AP Capstone program exists.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))

Why go overboard? Get your college credit and be done with APs. They are great for that but they don't even compare to college classes.
TrPrado (461 D)
08 May 15 UTC
It's not all that overboard, really. Also, they're skills that are good for college that aren't necessarily taught. The reason my Lang teacher told me they added the Lang test sounded an awful lot to me like one of the few things we learned in Seminar.

The Lang test is a test of whether you can write essays within a certain timeframe. It wasn't too bad.
peterwiggin (15158 D)
13 May 15 UTC
Actually, it's more important to get the multiple choice questions right on the Lang test than to write great essays. The MC is just a slightly more difficult version of the SAT reading -- so not too bad at all.

I skipped Lit because I didn't feel like analyzing poetry.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
13 May 15 UTC
I took Lit because someone told me it would get me an English scholarship when I went to college if I had credit for both with my GPA and writing. That class is saving me $10,000 a year.

bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
13 May 15 UTC
Everyone hates it, but it's only three hours of your life and then you never have to worry about it again, including college. Then you just have to use it rather than analyze it.
Manwe Sulimo (325 D)
13 May 15 UTC
Pro tip for high schoolers, take as many AP classes as you can! I got credit for 7 which put me way ahead when I entered college and AP classes are WAY easier than their college counterparts.

So I'm seriously hoping when the Comparative Gov test says the 5 question short answer section is worth 25% of the free response, I'm hoping that each individual question is only worth 5% of the free response, because the first two of those were the only things I didn't get so I wrote one-line answers that were very likely incorrect, and if I get those wrong and that's the weighting, it will only be 5% of the whole test I get wrong because of that. Everything else was really easy.
TrPrado (461 D)
14 May 15 UTC
Also, I noticed that the shrink wrap on the tests got a lot sloppier for the last 2 days of testing. Through yesterday, the shrink wrap was nice and neat. Today it was applied haphazardly and resembled saran wrap with a bunch of air in it.

Second Quake in Nepal
You all heard the news before. I asked people not to forget, so I'm reminding people today again. There was a second quake this morning of similar magnitude (7.3), killing many, but more importantly right now, people are forced to live communally outdoors as the monsoon season approaches.
